The Global Immersion Experience
Students may choose to use an approved 1.5-credit elective toward a global immersion experience over spring break that stretches their judgment beyond familiar regulatory and cultural environments. Through cultural, financial, political and economic research, students explore how organizations operate in a different region and apply their business knowledge in an international context. The experience offers valuable exposure and insights into how organizations operate abroad and how business skills can transfer across markets.
